The festive day kicks off at the Midland Beach parking lot: Motorcyclists make their way — via NYPD escort and with Santa Claus in tow — to the Pitstop, 155 Claypit Rd., Charleston.

Around 1 p.m., the real party begins as bikers take off their helmets and gear to party with participants while raising funds to support those with special needs.

Biker sign-up begins at 10 a.m. Folks are welcome to attend the early-morning segment featuring a dedication, T-shirt sales, and coffee and doughnuts before cheering the bikers’ blast-off. They can also join them later for the festivities in Charleston. On offer there will be a smorgasbord of cold salads, six-foot heroes, roasted turkey, chicken soup, pasta and other dishes and beverages, all to the strains of the band Off White Trash.

There will also be auctions, raffles and a 50/50.

“It’s a rocking-good holiday way to raise money for several local organizations that support children and young adults with disabilities,” said Mary Karpinski, president of the Staten Island Bikers Association.

Admission is $10 or an unwrapped toy provided at the door.

“Anyone wishing to come is more then welcome. You don’t need a motorcycle. People can bring their children and it looks like the weather is going to be excellent, so we are all really excited,” she said.

Last year, the organization collected more than 1,000 toys. Ms. Karpinski said donations taken at the door will also help fill the void, noting in this economic climate, the group often gets requests for toys from people who are out of work.

For more information or donations, phone Joe (Stormin’) Norman, vice president of the SIBA, at 917-416-0756. Or donations can be mailed to 228 Armstrong Ave., Staten Island, N.Y. 10308.
